How to Kill Rakanoth

Rakanoth is one of the hardest bosses in the game. He boasts a combination of annoying adds and a near-instant teleport 1-shot. Chances are if you’re here you’re already familiar with the frustration Rakanoth can dish out. In order to beat Rakanoth, we have to understand Rakanoth:

Demon Hunter Leveing Guide (1-60)

Best Monk Build

As you play your Monk through Nightmare and Hell you will have to make several important decisions about which abilities and skill runes to select. Typically the decisions amount to whether you want to survive more, do direct damage, AoE damage or reflect damage. You can easily adjust your build as you go to counter […]

Demon Hunter Solo Leveling Build

If you play a Demon Hunter solo after playing a Barbarian or a Monk you’ll be quick to note how much moving around you need to do. Depending on the way you gear your Demon Hunter you’re not really going to want to stand there and allow yourself to be hit (except maybe in Normal […]

Best Class in Diablo 3

Now that Diablo 3 has been live for about 12 hours we have a better idea of how the classes break down past level 20. Even though the servers have only stayed up about 8-9 hours most semi-hardcore players are sitting at level 20-25 and they might even begin to reroll. If you haven’t picked […]

Bad Ass Armor Sets – Datamined

The armor sets in Diablo 3 are surprisingly unique compared to their Diablo 2 counter parts. In D2 there were just a few low resolution sets, in the coming release of D3 we’ve got fully 3D models high resolution sets, and not just a few. Here are videos, one for each of the five classes, […]

Monk Farming Build

The Monk is a very physical yet magical class, doing mostly close quarter combat. However it does have the ability to use some powerful AoE abilities so it should be a suitable farming class after all. The goals with this farming build, as with the other farming builds I’ve come up with, revolve around massive […]
